There’s something about the smell of freshly baked blueberry muffins that makes me people happy and warm inside. It’s hard to be in a bad mood when you see those berries popping through the muffin tin.

Everyone needs a basic blueberry muffin recipe, especially since it’s surprisingly hard to get a good one in the average cafe. They’re often too cakey or sweet. These are light and fluffy, and just sweet enough to be a muffin – not a cupcake.

The filling of these classic cheese blintzes gets its perfect consistency from a mix of cottage and farmer cheeses. A simple blueberry sauce tops off the dish. If blueberries aren’t in season, frozen berries can be substituted. Use unsweetened, and do not defrost them before combining with the sugar and cornstarch.

So rustic, so delicious—we’re huge fans of the entire Dutch Baby movement, or “Puff Pancakes,” as we sometimes like to call them. Here, fresh blueberries stand out against stark white batter, just begging to be scooped up and plopped on a skillet— but not before a final squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Almost too stunning to be so simple to make, this vibrantly hued granita is the perfect treat for hot summer days. Combine five ingredients (all of which are staples in our kitchens), then freeze and scrape the frozen mixture. Shaved ice has never looked so good.
